DCK 2.2, Waded 1.83 beta

Bugs:

If you ride the two far switches up to the top of their travel, you can see some HOM on top of the central pillar. Also, riding the central pillar to the top makes everything around look like sets for a movie--2d.

Absoloute crap! Makes no sense and has no exit! An Archvile, a Mesasphere and you all in the same tiny room with a Super Shotgun and a bazillion shells outside the window and no way to get back up to the platforms if you fall off. Don't waste your time with this!

This is dated May 1995. It's a puzzly level that doesn't really work. At the start you have to be blown out of a room by an archvile onto a platform outside, and then there are lots of switches and lifts which are fiddly and unentertaining, and you can get stuck. It builds up to a final battle that's decent but needed all the monsters to attack you at once; the ending is an anti-climax. The level had ideas (the opening is clever) but they mostly weren't good ones.
